  1. This isn't anything new. Strutting around half naked to create an image has been a common practice for pop star since the 80's. Why doesn't anyone here make a new blog post about Kesha's, Nicki Minaj's or Kesha's latest video? Oh right, they weren't in a crappy teen show that stopped being produced nearly 2 and a half year ago but declined in popularity way earlier. Every Hanna Montana fans has grown up and nobody should care about that show anymore. All of these pop stars were once innocent, cute-looking teens too, Miley isn't any different

     

    Nudity sells, blame society for it

     

     

    I dislike this image as much as you do, but you're better off making a rant about pop stars in general than just pointing out Miley in particular

     

  2. If it was already the case that people qualified to do the job are getting appointed, we wouldn't be in such a situation where people are resigning left and right.

     

    Plenty of mods and admins are resigning, sure, but they resign because of personal reasons. Mostly because they can't handle the pressure, they don't feel like being active anymore etc. Rarely has it anything to do with incompetence, and if it does, it's the mods themselves who are admitting that they aren't doing much for the forums and decides to step out

     

    (based on the high amounts of resigning threads)

  3. It's not that simple, like I said, the staff has the final say. Nominating is different than voting, if the mods feel like somebody only got nominated for being popular they don't mod them, simple as that.

     

    A user survey would be nice but it would not fix the problem in the long run.

     

    But why is that process even required? As I previously stated, if a person gets a lot of nominations because of their qualities, that person has already most likely been noted by the staff team

  4. "The last problem I would like to address is the staff-selection process. The problem is that only staff have a say on somebody's promotion into the staff. The reason this system will fail in the long run is that it means that if it gets to a point where there are a lot of bad mods/admins, no good mods/admins will get added. In the long run, a better alternative would be user-nomination by other members, and then the staff would vote on these nominations."

     

    This part perplexes me because:

    1. The only persons who truly know what qualities a mod require are the mods themselves. Members here will simply vote for the "LOL ZOMG POPULAR FRENDLY GUY XXD" kind of member and completely ignoring people who actually has the potential of being great mods/admins

    2. The idea of having members nominating will only delay the process of choosing a new mod/admin. Seriously, if a lot members nominate the same member due to their qualities (helpful, friendly etc), the staff has most likely already considered making that person a staff member. A complete waste of time imo

    3. It will end up being a popularity contest

     

    Also, all of this can simply be solved by bringing in that User Survey that SCS suggested

  5. It's things like this that cause the value of blogs to plummet.

    Might be funny at first, but it'll get old.

     

    You really need to define "value". Because how I see it, blogs are like long status updates; They exist for the purpose of just sharing whatever thoughts you may have without having to create threads about it. It's like complaining that the qualities of status updates are plummeting
